The folks at Bellshare let me know their insanely popular weather application BerryWeather has been updated to version 2.1.40 and is now out of public beta and officially available. A lot of key differences came with the 2.1 version as it's a re-write of the original code which will perform better across all BlackBerry devices, while taking nothing from the BerryWeather that so many have come to love. As a thank yout to everybody at CrackBerry who helped Bellshare with the beta testing of the latest version, they have offered us up 50 free copies to give away to our readers.

Win a Free Copy of BerryWeather: Drop a comment on this post for your chance to win one of 50 full versions of BerryWeather. Let us know what your favorite season is or what you hate about your least favorite season. For me, it's winter. Hockey and curling and snowmobiling aside, Canadian winters are never fun as it often times gets cold enough to freeze your face off. I'd much rather be at the beach :)

Sweet sounding app!! Definitely something that would help me out in knowing how much snow needs to be shoveled before the hockey game. Gotta love the fall/winter sports like hockey and football but the cold is really not for me. Much rather be somewhere warm but then I wouldn't be living in my team's town. Go Pittsburgh!!!!!

Least favorite Summer... I'm in Houston, Tx. I'm in Houston Tx, so you'd think it'd be the other way around. But i do love me some cold weather!!!! There's something about humid, sticky, sweaty weather i dont like, oh yeah, the fact that its hot!!! Eww. lol

this is the best weather app for blackberry. i bought this for my blackberry bold.. but now i would like to have another 1 for my girlfriend. please pick me for the free copy.. thanks. :) pick me please.

My favorite season is winter, because the snow,hockey, ski, snowboard, and canceled classes and snow boots. i hate summer because it is too hot, a lot of insects, bugs, and sweat, and the smell of sweaty people.

Summer can't come fast enough. I too am in the great white north and we go days without even knowing what the sun looks like. I check the weather everyday with just a glimpse of hope that maybe, just maybe I will be able to wear my Oakleys today because the sun is out. May cannot come soon enough....... Would love to be able to check the weather with BerryWeather instead of the crappy unnamed weather app I have...................... Ryan

I hate winter cause its freezin, the only time I can deal with it is when I am skiing! If I am not skiing I am whinning about the cold and that six pm looks like midnight. Gotta get me sum summer! Please pick me I never win, and for me to win this would be awsome because the weather app I have now is not as good as BerryWeather and as I said I am obsessed with weather! Its the app I use the most!!!!!! PLEASE!

Hey, you asked what my favorite season is. I love spring in New England! Everything turns green and it starts getting warm. It makes me feel energized and ready to go out into the woods and trails.
I agree with the author that winter is terribly cold. I spent a number of years stationed at K. I. Sawyer AFB in Marquette county in the Upper Peninsular of Michigan. Winter started in September and ran through April (sometimes even through May) and we got 220 inches of snow and faced wind chills of -40F often. I can do without that kind of weather!!

I enjoy winter because I am the type of person who ends up sweating when it's raining outside. I enjoy colder weather, but with the cold, comes rain, and rain isn't cool for people in Los Angeles. Why? Because when people in Los Angeles enter their cars, they automatically become ignorant and oblivious to everything. You can take the smartest person you know, stick them behind the wheel of a Range Rover, enter a storm and watch the body count pile up.

Aside from that, winter's pretty cool. But spring is when the girls come out. Woooo.

Before I got married and made a few kids, I used to do all manner of insane things. My favorite was rally racing. The best rally racing is on the snow. Throw the car sideways into a turn and watch a rooster tail of the white stuff fly. :~)

Never bought a blackberry app before, would love to see what the full version is like. My favorite season is Summer as it gets quite cold in this part of Canada in the winter. Swimming and BBQing are what I love about it.

My favorite season is fall when the weather is just chilly enough for a sweat shirt and you can sleep with the windows open. My least favorite is WINTER!!! Hate being so darn cold you feel it in your bones. =[

My favorite season? Anything that's not rain or snow or high winds! You see, I go hot air ballooning and we don't like either of those! We like nice and calm winds and sunny skies (but, we'll take cloudy days, too!).

BerryWeather would be a huge benefit for my Ballooning activities since weather information is critical to our decision to fly or not!

I'd love to win this for my fiance's curve 8530! She uses that WeatherBug program but it's so inaccurate it's ridiculous.

She'd use this so much more especially since I'm forcing her to move to Albany, NY and the winters there are bad. She hates winter because she hates the cold. She told me that if it's below 40degrees, she's not leaving the house and will have the heat up to 85degrees or higher and that I'll have to do everything. She said I'm torturing her by moving but oh well, got to go where you can get more money!

Summer is my season of preference as I work outside and Canadian winters are not fun! Would love to have BerryWeather on my 9700 to help me decide what to wear each morning before I go to work. Good luck to all.

For me in the UK, spring is the best season. Springtime is the time of new life and the time when the trees start to show their dormant desire for life. The cold dampness in the air that marks the UK winter starts to diminish and the early daffodils remind you that colourful displays of flowers will soon be seen in gardens up and down the country. Anticipation grows to view the short but wonderful displays of bluebells in that carpet the local woodland floors. Walking on grass in the garden becomes pleasurable again with lawns being trimmed and mown after the winter break. The melodies of birdsong fill the air and the blackbird chirps out his wonderful tune to raise the spirits. And of course the sun starts to climb in the sky as a positive reminder that longer days are to be with us in the coming months.
My least favourite season is Autumn. Yes, or course the colour of the trees is wonderful early on - but when the wind comes and blows the leaves to the floor, things get slippery underfoot. The smell of the woodland is wonderful but at home, it seems that no matter how hard you try to clean up your garden of the fallen leaves, there are always more there the next day. The wonder of the UK summer starts to fade and become a distant memory as the trees take on a skeletal form - and you know that the cold damp weather will soon be upon us.

My favorite season is summer. I live in wisconsin so the winter SUCKSSS!!!! I like to walk down the street with out wearing 20 pounds of clothes. I have to win this app. The free version is so BLAHHHHH...

OMG I LOVE THIS APP UNLIKE WINTER WHICH IS NOT A GOOD TIME HERE IN HAMPTON ROADS VA!!!! WE HAD A MAJOR STORM SWEEP THRU THE SOUTH EAST AND MORE COMING THIS WEEKEND!!!! OY I JUST CANT WIN SO LEMME WIN SOMETHING

I've been using the 1.x version of BerryWeather (currently 1.6) for a long time. As far as weather apps for BlackBerry go it is hands down the best! I've wanted to upgrade to the newest version for a long time, and now all the enhancements in 2.1 make it even better! Please pick me!

As for my favorite season, it's close, but winter! Skiing is my favorite thing to do. Plus, I don't like to sweat :). Thanks for yet another great giveaway CrackBerry.

I use the free version all the time and it's just fantastic! It's very pleasing to the eye. I really want to upgrade to the paid version to get it on my homescreen, but it would be awesome to get it for free from CrackBerry! :)

I have never won anything from you guys, and this would be the absolute perfect 1st prize. My favorite season is the winter. Living in sunny south carolina, the heat gets excessive here FAST. Give me some skis or a board and point me to the slopes. I LOVE THE WINTER!! Now if we could get a little snow down here. Yes we pray for snow in SC.
